The respiratory control system is one of the most complex physiological systems, whose controller has been extensively modeled based on the criterion of minimizing work of breathing (WOB). However, cost functions and their related parameters are still an open topic. The aim of this paper is to evaluate different estimates of WOB for given ventilatory demands. Two known computations of mechanical work...
Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent cause of dementia. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is defined as a grey area between intact cognitive functioning and clinical dementia. Electroencephalography (EEG) has been used to identify biomarkers in dementia. Currently, there is a great interest in translating the study from raw signals to signal generators, trying to keep the relationship with neurophysiology...
Neurosurgeons require a good sense of three-dimensional spatial perception based on diagnostic imaging and patient's brain anatomy, a correct handling of surgical instruments and a very good fine motor control, the acquisition of these skills can only be achieved through continued practical experience. This paper presents preliminary results of the implementation of an instrumented glove for the capture...
Surgeon's adverse events may cause severe complications for patients; they are usually caused by the incorrect use of advanced instrumentation, poor training and surgeon fatigue. To avoid them, it is important to evaluate surgeon major variables like: real-time decision making, complex instrument control, manual dexterity, hand-eye coordination and fatigue. In order to provide a more objective assessment...
Conducting research associated with mechanically ventilated patients often requires the recording of several biomedical signals to dispose of multiple sources of information to perform a robust analysis. This is especially important in the analysis of the relationship between pressure, volume and flow, signals available from mechanical ventilators, and other biopotentials such as the electromyogram...
